Welcome to our half-PPR fantasy football rankings for Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season! The calendar is fast approaching September, meaning fantasy football season is within reach. Week 1 of the NFL season is key and sets the tone for your fantasy squads, so it's never too early to scan the rankings for the opening slate of the 2024 campaign.

Whether you have already drafted or are looking for players who should get out to hot starts before your draft, we have you covered with our NFL team's updated rankings. Our rankings will help you set winning lineups right away, for key players, so let's check where CeeDee Lamb, Jahmyr Gibbs, Brandon Aiyuk, Zamir White, Keon Coleman, Brian Robinson Jr., Jaylen Warren, Brian Thomas Jr., and more rank.

Our half-PPR fantasy football rankings for Week 1 are assembled by Nick Mariano. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will find a summary of the recent important fantasy football injury news. There are always critical injuries to track, so check back until kickoff.

Week 1 Fantasy Football Half-PPR Rankings

Rankings are updated until kick-off. Be sure to bookmark our weekly PPR rankings, Half-PPR rankings, and Standard rankings.

Note that quarterbacks, defenses, and kickers are all grouped separately toward the bottom. Each position is ranked separately. This helps to compare running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends for FLEX spots (without QB, DEF, and K mixed in).
